Video Version of this Article Photo/Video: Prince/Hollywood Insider YouTube Channel Rolodex Of Identities Many fans today know him as just Prince. Yet, if you are to ask somebody of a different generation, they might have called him something else. Prince truly was a man of many names. He went by many aliases such as, The Kid, Christopher Tracy, Alexander Nevermind, The Purple Purv, and a few other names that I will not be repeating here due to political correctness. Finally, Prince settled for the name, The Artist Formerly Known As Prince. He remained under that alias until December of 1999 when his copyright agreement with ‘Warner Bros.’ expired. After that, he just went by Prince. I feel many people would have been surprised to find out that his government name was actually, Prince Rogers Nelson, a name his father gave him to pay homage to his own jazz combo.
